Why do kids throw rocks anyways....
I threw rocks as a child. In fact it almost seems inherit for most little boys to throw rocks. In the early stages of development a kid will pick up a rock and throw it as far as he can. Of course lacking any real hand-eye coordination the rock will usually land a few feet away. Of course good parents seeing this activity will stamp it out quickly and teach their children it is not alright to throw rocks. This is among many other early teachings like it is not alright to hit girls and that you shouldn't eat paint chips.
Well unfortunate for me I came across another individual who didn't learn that throwing rocks at moving vehicles is not alright. While going to the Stevenson BBQ yesterday a rock was throw at my truck denting and chipping the side. I should have stopped right then but I was getting a call from friend at the time and trying to fish the phone from my pocket. Also Hakeber had a super hot bowl of Mac'n'Cheese on her lap so quickly stopping was out of the question.
Long story short I called the cops. The cop came and I pointed him to the house that I thought the rock originated from. I told him I saw a teenager emerge from the bushes sometime after the rock was thrown. Later that evening the father of the house came over to give his son an alibi. Clearly he was lying cause the the cop arrived when the father was leaving and some kid answered the door. Sense when did parents start believing their children and not trusting their neighbors? Needless to say I am still pissed about this issue. Second vehicle hit by a thrown rock will do that to you.
